* Ada (played by Vicki Lewis) – George's secretary at the New York Yankees. In the episode " The Secretary", George does not want to hire an attractive secretary so he could focus on his work, and in the interview process turned down a few women because they were so attractive. George ultimately hired Ada, whose efficiency impressed him. However, one day while they are working together, George becomes attracted to Ada, and the two have sex. While having sex George blurts out that he's giving Ada a raise. Ada is given a raise, but it turns out that her new wages are even greater than George's, much to his annoyance. In "The Race", Ada overhears George on the phone with a woman he met through ''The Daily Worker'', and believes George is a Communist. She tells Steinbrenner about this but instead of reprimanding him, Steinbrenner sends George to Cuba to recruit Cuban baseball players.
* Allison (played by Kari Coleman) – George's ex-girlfriend who he claims is obsessed with him, proven by the fact that she threatened to kill herself if George broke up with her.

* Babu Bhatt (played by Brian George) – An immigrant from Pakistan who owns the nearby "Dream Café."

* Barbara "Babs" Kramer (played by Sheree North) – Cosmo Kramer's mother. She used to be a matron in the women's restroom at a restaurant, but was persuaded by Kramer to resign from that job and pursue an undefined venture with him. Although first mentioned in "The Nose Job," her first on-screen appearance is in " The Switch" where she also unintentionally reveals Kramer's first name to be Cosmo and has a sexual encounter with Newman. Babs was once addicted to alcohol and drugs claiming to have been "clean" for two years.

Kramer once likened the cute baby to Lyndon Johnson while Elaine compared the ugly one to a Pekingese. Carol is notable for her nasal voice and her memorable quote: "You gotta see the baby!" or "You gotta have a baby!" in "The Soul Mate." Her final appearance was in " The English Patient," when she and her friends shunned Elaine after she showed her dislike for the film of the same name.

* Counter Woman: (played by Kathryn Kates) – In the episodes " The Dinner Party" from season 5 and "The Rye" from season 7, the Counter Woman works at Schnitzer's Bakery.

First, in " The Gum", she notices striking similarities between George's behavior and that of her mentally unstable father (affectionately known by all as 'Pop'), that being "nervousness, irritability, and paranoia". Her suspicions are heightened when she sees him walking down the street in a King Henry VIII costume telling people he just left the "institution." Then in " The Doll" she catches him in the coffee shop, alone and screaming at a doll that looks like his mother. Finally in "The Bottle Deposit," she is visiting her father at the mental asylum when she runs into a hysterical George (who was mistakenly sent there by Mr. Steinbrenner). She ignores his pleas to help him escape believing that he is finally getting the help he needs.

In "The Betrayal," he uses his birthday wish against Kramer as the result of a grudge held after Kramer struck him in the back of the head with a snowball. The same actor also appears briefly in " The Wizard" as the hot dog vendor talking with George. Although his character's name is not revealed, he is presumably the same character because he was seen selling hot dogs in "The Betrayal" also.

Next in " The Abstinence," Katie gets Jerry an entire assembly at his former junior high school after Jerry is "bumped" at Career Day by a zoo worker. Jerry is unprepared for the assembly, and after he tells his first joke, he is met with boos.

* Lloyd Braun (played first by Peter Keleghan, then by Matt McCoy) – A childhood friend of George. Estelle Costanza used to badger George, with questions such as, "Why can't you be more like Lloyd Braun?" In " The Non-Fat Yogurt," Lloyd worked for David Dinkins, until he passed along Elaine's suggestion that everyone in New York City wear name tags. Dinkins lost the race and Braun had a nervous breakdown. (The episode, which aired two days after the real mayoral election, was shot in two forms. Braun would have been with Dinkins, if Dinkins were to have been re-elected.) Lloyd helped Kramer gain historical status for a movie theater, in " The Gum.", after spending time in a mental institution. In Serenity Now", Braun worked for a short time for George's father, Frank Costanza, in Serenity Now". Lloyd Braun allegedly was selling computers. The telephone line that he was "using" was not connected. Larry David named the Lloyd Braun character after the real-life Lloyd Braun, who was David's lawyer and manager.
* Lt. Joe Bookman (played by Philip Baker Hall) – A library cop who pursues Jerry because of an overdue copy of '' Tropic of Cancer,'' which Jerry had borrowed in 1971. Bookman's dedication to his job and coincidental surname are cause for Jerry's dismissive attitude toward him. Bookman's character is defined by his deadpan delivery (a parody of Sgt. Joe Friday in '' Dragnet''), and his tendency to flip his trench coat dramatically during interrogations. Appears in " The Library" and " The Finale, Part 2."
* Mabel Choate (played by Frances Bay) – The old woman at Schnitzer's bakery who bought the infamous last marble rye, which Jerry went on to steal from her on the street in order to give to George to carry out one of his numerous idiotic schemes.

* Mel Sanger (played by Brian Doyle-Murray) – A Yoo-Hoo truck driver who is the father of Donald Sanger.

Unseen characters

*Bob Sacamano – One of Kramer's best friends, who is often referred to as the source of nutty ideas or inaccurate information (his initials, perhaps coincidentally, are "B.S."). He is from New Jersey. In "The Heart Attack," Kramer explains how Bob had a botched hernia operation, so that now he has a high-pitched voice and spends his days in a wheelchair. He also had rabies at some point. Bob worked, for a time, in a condom factory and provided a bag of defective condoms to Kramer in " The Fix-Up," which George then used with Elaine's friend, briefly thinking he had impregnated her as a result. Bob once stayed at Kramer's apartment as a guest for a year and a half. Larry Charles created Sacamano, naming him after a real-life friend. Bob also befriended Jerry when Jerry and Kramer switch apartments; Jerry adds that Bob sells Russian hats in Battery Park for $40: the hats are made from nutria, a type of rat, instead of sable. In the ninth season episode " The Wizard," Kramer states that Bob Sacamano's father (Bob Sacamano Sr.) lives in Florida; he's the source of faulty electronic organizers known as "Willards" (instead of the more expensive " Wizards") that foil Kramer's run for condo board president. Although Sacamano himself is never seen, Sacamano Sr. appears in a deleted scene.
* Cousin Jeffrey – Jerry's horse-faced cousin, about whom Uncle Leo always raves. He worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Jeffrey once got Jerry tickets to a Paul Simon concert, and George, sans eyeglasses, once claimed to see Jeffrey kissing Jerry's girlfriend in the street (it turned out to be a policewoman patting a horse). According to Uncle Leo, Jeffrey's favorite animal is the leopard because he likes the spots, and he keeps in close contact with his college botany professor, a friendship which Leo thinks is rare. Jeffrey received a citation from the city for his edible foliage tour through Central Park. The back of Cousin Jeffrey's head can be seen in the deleted scenes for "The Glasses" episode on the season DVD.

*Lomez – An unseen friend of Kramer's. He is an Orthodox Jew, "old school," according to Kramer in " The Fatigues." In ''The Betrayal'', Kramer bangs on the door of a portable toilet yelling "Come on Lomez, we're going to miss the movie!" When Kramer starts the Peterman Reality Bus Tour in " The Muffin Tops," he notes Lomez's place of worship on the tour. Kramer purchases a hot tub from Lomez and speaks on the phone to him while taking a shower in " The Apology." In " The Package," Kramer tells Jerry that he traded his stereo to Lomez for some steaks. In " The Voice," Kramer's intern Darren tells Jerry and George that "Mr. Kramer's in a meeting with Mr. Lomez." And in " The Van Buren Boys," one of the Susan Ross Scholarship interviewees is credited, although not mentioned, as Lomez Junior. His relation, if any, to Lomez remains unknown as his only line is "You like that, don't you?" when George mentions that he has a 4.0 GPA. In " The Slicer," Kramer tells Elaine that Lomez blew his neighbor's circuit to stop an incessant alarm, prompting her to do the same. Later in the same episode, Kramer tells Elaine that, in blowing his neighbor's circuit, Lomez caused the automatic cat feeder to stop functioning, resulting in incessant meowing from the neighbor's cat. When Elaine asks Kramer what Lomez did about it, he replies that "He moved to a motel and the cat eventually died."

Imaginary characters and pseudonyms

* Art Vandelay – George's imaginary alter-ego, which is referenced in many episodes. In "The Finale," the name of the judge is coincidentally Arthur Vandelay.
* Kel Varnsen – An alias used by Jerry in " The Boyfriend," in order to help George with his Vandelay Industries. He also uses this alias in " The Puerto Rican Day."
* H.E. Pennypacker – Kramer appears as H. E. Pennypacker, "a wealthy industrialist." In order to help Elaine get revenge on Putumayo in " The Millennium," Kramer (as "Pennypacker") attempts to use his pricing gun to greatly reduce the prices of the store's clothing. When Kramer inadvertently crushes the pricing gun, he removes the desiccants from some of the clothes (which will make clothes noticeably musty in five years), and tells Gladys Mayo, "I think I'm going to build a roller coaster instead." He also uses the alias in " The Puerto Rican Day" where he poses as a buyer interested in an apartment in order to use its bathroom.
* Martin van Nostrand or Peter von Nostrand – As Dr. Martin von Nostrand, Kramer tried to get Elaine's medical chart in " The Package." He also used the von Nostrand alias in " The Slicer," posing as a Juilliard-trained dermatologist, and is recognized as Dr. von Nostrand in " The Strike." Kramer used the name Martin von Nostrand (without the "doctor" prefix) while auditioning for the role of himself on the show ''Jerry'' in " The Pilot, Part 1." Kramer posed as Professor Peter von Nostrand in "The Nose Job" in order to retrieve a jacket from another man's apartment.
